Buffalo Trace distilled this whiskey from its wheated recipe in the summer of 1998 and stored the barrels in Warehouses I and P, on the fourth and ninth floors. The whiskey came out at 12 years and 3 months and went into glass uncut and unfiltered at 126.6 proof, with no water added and nothing taken out.

Every bottle sold through Midnight Whiskey is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.

What proof is the 2010 William Larue Weller?

The 2010 William Larue Weller is bottled at 126.6 proof, or 63.3% alcohol by volume. Buffalo Trace bottles this Antique Collection wheated bourbon uncut and unfiltered, so the figure is the strength the 2010 batch measured at bottling. Within the 2010 collection it came third, under the 143-proof George T. Stagg and the 126.9-proof Thomas H. Handy rye.

Is the 126.6 proof William Larue Weller the 2010 release?

Yes. 126.6 proof is the 2010 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection bottling of William Larue Weller, distilled in the summer of 1998 and bottled at 12 years and 3 months old. It is sometimes mistaken for the 2011 release, which is a separate annual bottling at 133.5 proof. Both were drawn from 1998 Buffalo Trace distillate, which is part of why the two years get confused.

Where was the 2010 William Larue Weller aged?

Buffalo Trace aged the 2010 William Larue Weller in Warehouses I and P, on the fourth and ninth floors, and named those locations in its own 2010 Antique Collection release text. The distillery did not publish a barrel count, an evaporation figure or a barrel entry proof for this bottling, and those figures are not carried over here from other years.
